Clinton Moore is back on the bike for the 2012 season,
and is kicking it off in the first round of  the IFMXF European FMX Championships in Linz, Austria this weekend!

Clinton spent plenty of time on the couch in 2011 after he decided to get surgery to fix a niggling shoulder injury so that he could be fully healed and competitive for 2012. 
It was an incredibly difficult decision, when Clint decided to pull out of two Red Bull X-Fighters events, one of which in Australia which was the biggest FMX event Australia has ever seen.  And of course X Games Best Trick where Clint wanted to unveil two new tricks.

Ultimately, it was the right decision and Clinton can now focus on riding and competing in 2012 to get back to the top of his game and continue the tradition of top Freestyle riders coming out of Australia.

After a year of bad luck with injuries, Clinton Moore has taken some time off for shoulder surgery and to get his body back up to 100% for the year to come,

the time off has also given him the opportunity to get his home compound rebuilt and styled to include a 120 foot ramp hit and improved dirt doubles,

with plans to take his growing list of tricks to the 120, the year ahead already looks to be a big one and here at FP cant wait to be a part of it!

We caught up with Matt this week after a busy mid year for him.

Covering half the country for the first four rounds in the Australian Underground FMX tour, Matt is currently sitting 5th overall in the points and with only one round left to ride, is looking for a top four finish, with a few big new tricks in his bag, things are looking good.

Another big move this month for Matt is his first international ride.

With some demos set up in china, this will be a great opportunity to ride in front of some large crowds and experience some good travels while on his bike!
